Film.com's FREE movie of the week is "Love the Hard Way." Oscar-winner Adrien Brody and Charlotte Ayanna star in this drama about a thief who falls for a curious, beautiful young woman. As their intimacy grows, a slick cop (Pam Greer) is closing in.
Riku Bexar has lost his older brother, the rebellious Dani, in a terrible car crash. Enraged and traumatized by grief, he sets out on a chaotic trip triggered by a bizarre dialogue with his deceased brother, incarnated as a reckless radio host. Riku is thrown back and forth by memories of their childhood. From the harmonious 1970s, through adolescence when their father Henrik refused to accept his sons for what they were, to the totally chaotic lives of all the members in the Bexar family during the 1990s.
